Treacherous

By Natalie Meyers

Seasons changed me

Shaped me. 

The very inner parts

carved out by treacherous, beautiful moments.

And the outer  parts

 My legs grew

Arms

Stomach 

Hands 

Feet.

Still now my heart grows,

my brain expands, ideas change.

Unlearning old ideas,

and discovering parts I didn’t know existed. 

And ways of the world I have never known. 

Sometimes these things feel treacherous

Other times, harmless.
